How to stream data through serial port

[NAlwe.1]

Hi, I have purchased an STEVAL-MKI109V3 and the STEVAL-MKI207V1 (ISM330DHCX)

I followed the instructions in section 4 in dm00331058-stevalmki109v3-professional-mems-tool-motherboard-for-mems-adapter-boards-stmicroelectronics.pdf to stream the data

If I type in the incorrect adaptor board in the hyperterminal (setdb105v1) I get the results in fig 1.

If I type in the correct one setdb207v1, I get what’s show in figure 2, which is no data being received

The 3 led (blue, orange and red) are all lit up

I am really struggling to get the accelerometer and gyroscope data, I would really appreciate your help in this matter

Hi @NAlwe.1​ ,

note the command in the third lines *w2047: this means "write 47h in the register 20h".

This make sense for the LIS3DH, i.e. the STEVAL-MKI105V1, since the reg 20h is the CTRL_REG1 (see datasheet, p.35), and it enables the 3 axis and sets the ODR.

In the case of the ISM330DHCX (STEVAL-MKI207V1), on the contrary, you have to set the CTRL1_XL (10h) register for the accelerometer and the CTRL2_G (11h) register for the gyroscope (datasheet p. 49).

Try for example with:

*w1040 // Acc = 104 Hz (Normal mode)
*w1140 // Gyro = 104 Hz (Normal mode)

Hi Eleon, thank u so much for your help, that worked perfectly and getting data out now.

Just would like to ask a quick question, it seems to convert from LSB to mg I multiply by 0.061 and that looks correct

but to convert from LSB to dps, when I multiply by 0.07, i don't get the correct dps values, any idea why?

Also any idea how to query the device measurement ranges for both the accelerometer and gyroscope

Thanks again for all your help
